I Just Called To Say I Love You

Evening 

Francis mansion 

"How are you feeling Roger?" Aunt Rosy asked while offering coffee to him 

"I am fine aunt—" Looking around, he asked, "Where is grandpa?" 

"He went to buy some gifts for newborn babies." Aunt Rosy smiled and said 

"How is your wounds, Roger?" Mother Francis smiled and asked while walking towards him

"Yeah, I am fine," Roger said 

"Roger, I heard that you are moving to another country?" Aunt Rosy sighed and asked 

"Yeah, I was thinking—" 

Cutting Roger off, Aunt Rosy frowned and said "How can you move to another country when your family is here?" 

"But aunt—" 

"No buts and ifs, I want you to stay here with us." Aunt Rosy said 

When Roger didn't say anything, Mother Francis sighed and said "Don't think twice Roger, you have to stay with us." 

Just then Jenni walked towards them and placed a tray of snacks before sitting beside them. 

"How is your health, Roger?" Jenni asked 

"Yeah, I am fine." Roger smiled and said 

"So, how is everything?" Jenni asked 

"I had a plan to start a company in Australia but I think I have to stop it." Roger sighed and said 

"Yeah, why will you start a company in Australia when we all are here?" Jenni frowned and said

"Jenni, don't you hate me?" Roger asked 

"Yeah, I hate the wrong side of yours and not this innocent face." Jenni smiled and said 

Pausing for a while, She said: "I always respected your feelings but I just hate when you went overboard and I think you understood your mistakes and feeling guilty which is good." 

"Thank you for understanding me, Jenni." Roger smiled and said 

"Lucas is busy in some meeting, so he won't meet you right now but Daisy is waiting for you on the lawn." Jenni smiled and said 

"She is here?" Roger scrunched his eyebrows and asked 

"Yeah, she is waiting in the lawn." Jenni smiled and said 

Roger sighed and walked towards the lawn

…..

Lawn 

Roger took a deep breath and walked towards a woman who is sitting on the bench facing backwards.

"Daisy," Roger called her out 

She turned and smiled when she looked at her love Roger 

Roger lips curled when she looked at her cute smile. He still remembers everything clearly what happen on that day, he drinks a lot and had sex with her, she pleaded with him to stay with her but he refused to accept her and left her alone. He didn't care where she is and he never felt guilty for his actions but now when he looked at her, a weird kind of feeling spread all over his heart. When he thought of Daisy suffering because he crossed his mind, his heart covered with guilty and unknowingly he blamed himself for her past.

"How are you, Roger?" Daisy smiled and said 

"Y-Yeah, I am fine, what about you?" Roger asked 

"Good." 

"Let's sit and talk," Daisy said before sitting on the bench 

"Daisy." 

"Hmm." 

"I-I am sorry for that day." Roger lowered his head and said 

Pausing for a while, he said "Yes, It was my fault for making you suffer but I was completely blindfolded with all negative thoughts. To be clear, I didn't remember anything that happens between us in these three years but when I realised my mistake, I am feeling guilty for everything. "

"If you could, please forgive me." Roger sighed and said 

"Roger, I never blamed you for anything, in fact, I was happy that I had a chance to spend some quality time with you." Daisy smiled and said 

"But—" 

"Roger, can we please forget about the past and live in present?" Daisy sighed and asked 

Roger nodded his head and asked, "Yeah, where are you living?" 

"I used to work as a nurse in Australia but due to some personal reasons, I shifted to the USA last week." Daisy smiled and said 

"That's great, so where do you live here? Did you find a job here?" Roger asked 

"Yeah, I got a job in Miller hospital and I live in a hotel." Daisy sighed and said 

"Hotel? Didn't you find an apartment here?" Roger frowned and asked 

"I was searching for a decent and affordable apartment but you know since miller hospital is in the centre of the city ty, apartment cost is too high. So, I decided to search in low-cost areas." Daisy smiled and said

Roger frowned deeper when he understood she is facing some financial troubles. Nurses will get paid heavy amount in miller hospital but still, she is thinking about a mere apartment which is making him uncomfortable. He wants to tell her that he will support her but he was scared. What if she thinks he is taking advantage of her again? What if she thinks he is fuckboy? No, he doesn't want her to get any bad idea about him.

"What about you? Do you live in this mansion?" Daisy asked 

"Yeah, Aunt Rosy asked me to stay here but I prefer my apartment." Roger smiled and said 

"Daisy." 

"Hmm" 

"Can I ask you something?" Roger asked 

"Yeah." Daisy smiled and said 

"Can I know your problems? I mean if you are comfortable, you can confess or else it's cool." Roger sighed and said 

Daisy took a deep breath and said "Dad wants me to get married to his friend's son but I don't want to marry him. So, I left home and moved to the USA." 

"Are you mad? Why didn't you left home? You can talk to your dad and convince him right?" Roger frowned and said 

"I tried convincing him but he is too stubborn to listen to my words." Daisy sighed and said 

"Don't worry Daisy, we all are for you. You can count on us whenever you need anything." Roger smiled and said 

Glancing at the watch, she sighed and said "I have a night shift, I have to go to hospital." 

"It's already 6 Pm, how will you go?" Roger asked 

"I will book a cab." Daisy smiled and said before getting up 

"Can I drop you?" Roger asked 

"What? I mean, will you drop me?" She asked 

"Yeah, if you are comfortable, I will drop you," Roger said 

Thinking for a while, she nodded her head
